A European start-up uses satellite data to pinpoint individual sources of abnormal methane concentration.
It’s been called the biggest conundrum in all of cosmology, and recent measurements just add to the confusion. One of the most puzzling facts about the Universe is that different […]
“The results change the perception of who a Viking actually was,” said project leader Professor Eske Willerslev.
Recent research estimates that the growth of emissions slowed down to 0.6 percent in 2019. However, this still means that humans released more CO2 into the atmosphere in 2019 than in any other year.
If galaxies are cities in the Universe, how unfortunate that our ‘cosmic country’ is dissolving. On the largest cosmic scales of all, planet Earth appears to be anything but special. […]

Phobos and Deimos only have two explanations, and neither one adds up.
The racing plane is hoped to be the fastest electric plane in existence.
Part of the U.K.’s push for total wind energy.
The Big Bang is our accepted origin of the Universe. But is there another possibility? Since the mid-1960s and the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background, the Big Bang has […]

Mathematics is the most useful tool we have for understanding the Universe. But it doesn’t answer to anything on its own. At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most […]
How Nobel Prize winner physicist Lev Landau ranked the best physics minds of his generation.
The act of observing doesn’t just determine a previously indeterminate state, but can destroy information, too. Imagine that you’re a scientist attempting to understand reality at a fundamental level. How […]
Not everything needs a medium to travel through. If we can overcome that assumption, we don’t need the aether at all. All throughout the Universe, different types of signals propagate. Some […]
Life forms on Earth are wildly varied, but scientists discover a single formula that predicts every one’s life cycle.
Our desire to engage in more interesting activities may have something to do with it.
Physicists propose using time crystals to bring about a quantum computing revolution.
Rather than scrubbing the emissions from fossil fuel plants, a new analysis suggests we should simply replace those power plants with renewable alternatives.
